Guinea-Tia-Flossie
I'm a pet sitter, and at the moment am looking after 2 chocolate labs while they are at work. When i was there today, i saw they had some guineas. So i went over to see how they were, only to be abit shocked.
These poor guineas had only a thin layer of sawdust as bedding, no straw or hay to snuggle in and eat. They had 2 small hamster sized bowls one was empty and upside down and the other had only a small amount of food in their sawdust was also very smelly and wet from thier own wee, and the guineas were greasy and dirty.
I got one out and kissed his little ears...They were FREEZING! he was also very thin compared to the other. So i had a look, and he was a boy! i took the other one out (who was licking my hands like they hadn't been picked up in ages) only to find out it was a GIRL!
so un neutred boy and girl...means, yes, babies and low and behold she was pregnant. (i could feel them) I really don't think they know they have a boy and girl together, otherwise they wouldn't have kept them together, and i don't think they know she is pregnant! They just seem to be neglected!
Now i can't really confront them with the way these guineas are stuck outside in the freezing cold with no food no bedding and pregnant, as i could lose my job if they complain....I have thought of taking them and just leaving the door open like they got out haha, but i shouldn't.
So any thoughts on what is best? I won't see them again until monday, but i will put some bedding in the car, just incase they still havn't got any by then.
